A Xianxia Novel: The World Where I Belong (BL)

Chapter 4- The Wait Won't Be Long

Immediately after Shen Xi Meng holds hands with Hui Jianyu, that 85% of both their strengths added together went to 100% as their pace of ascending up went even faster than before!

The participants all looked up in shock as their mouth was left agape. They are only still 1 foot off the ground but Shen Xi Meng and Hui Jianyu were already 10 feet off the ground and are still continuing going up!

Jia Ying also looks towards Shen Xi Meng and Hui Jianyu's direction. As she saw them holding hands, she couldn't help but smile.

Those two kids are smart. By having contact with each other, they are able to bring forth the full potential of the red string tied around their wrists, allowing them to ascend even faster than they already had.

Jia Ying then looked at some participants that couldn't even float up. Her attitude was neutral as this wasn't the first time that she had seen such a scene where there will be cultivators who couldn't use the Ascend of Heaven to climb up to Tian Shang Sect.

It just meant that their strength and potential wasn't even worthy of paying attention to. In other words, they failed this trial.

As Shen Xi Meng and Hui Jianyu continues to ascend at a fast pace, Hui Jianyu couldn't help but say sweetly, "Xi Meng~"

Shen Xi Meng's mouth twitch. 'Why does that tone sounds like the tone past life Hui Jianyu would use whenever he wants to "play" with me?'

Although the voice was that of a child and Hui Jianyu is a child in front of him, to Shen Xi Meng, that kind of tone was as if he sees the devil himself ah!

Hui Jianyu smiles as he said, "Since Xi Meng is holding my hand, is Xi Meng afraid? Don't be afraid."

Hui Jianyu then uses his free hand and grabbed onto Shen Xi Meng's waist and pulled Shen Xi Meng to his embrace. "If you're afraid, just close your eyes."

Shen Xi Meng frowned when he is forced to be so close to Hui Jianyu. In fact, he is also really angry. Angry to the point where he bit his lower lip so that he could bring down the urge to curse at Hui Jianyu.

Shen Xi Meng clenches his free hand tightly into a fist. After a few seconds past, he finally has the ability to control his anger and said lowly with his head lowered, "Let go."

Oh?

Hui Jiangyu was surprised. Shen Xi Meng actually didn't even curse at him, instead, he would only say the word "let go"? This really made Hui Jianyu at a loss.

Naturally, Hui Jianyu knew the benefits of holding hands while their wrists are tied to the red string. However, Hui Jianyu found that ever since he saw Shen Xi Meng in this life, Shen Xi Meng's attitude towards him seems to have changed.

Hui Jianyu shook his head. Instead of saying Shen Xi Meng changed, it's more like Shen Xi Meng is refraining himself from making a scene in front of Hui Jianyu.

Is he...

Afraid of me?

This thought made Hui Jianyu want to laugh. The guy who tried every means to destroy him in his past life is actually afraid of him in this life?

Yes, Hui Jianyu had transmigrated back to this time after dying. When he opened his eyes, he found out that he had become a 12-year-old again that still lives in that shabby broken down house.

However, Shen Xi Meng doesn't know about this. He still thinks that the Hui Jianyu in front of him is only 12 years old and is still a kid.

F*ck it. Shen Xi Meng already lost patience when the other didn't even let him go. Just as he was about to push Hui Jianyu away with a push on the chest, Hui Jianyu instead grabbed his waist tighter.

Shen Xi Meng's mouth twitch. Is Hui Jianyu really a child of 12 years old? Would a child cling onto another person's body so tightly?! I mean, yeah it happens but in this situation, no 12 years old would do this!

Luckily, he and Hui Jianyu were already really high up into the sky and the rest of the participants is far enough that they wouldn't be able to see this scene. If not, Shen Xi Meng would be embarrassed to death!

With clenched teeth, Shen Xi Meng said each word with much difficulty, "Hui. Jian. Yu. Let. Me. Go!"

"No!" Hui Jianyu said as he immediately hugs tightly onto Shen Xi Meng with his free hand while his other hand was still holding onto Shen Xi Meng's hand.

Hui Jianyu looks straight at Shen Xi Meng in the eyes, saying with a pouting face, "This height is where I'm most afraid. I'll be borrowing Xi Meng's chest!"

Without allowing Shen Xi Meng to say anything back, Hui Jianyu already buried his face in Shen Xi Meng's chest.

Shen Xi Meng was speechless. How shameless could this child be? A moment ago he was the one that told Shen Xi Meng to not be afraid but now he is the one that is closing his eyes?

'I call bullsh*t!' Shen Xi Meng cursed inside.

But...

Shen Xi Meng sighed lightly. The other is only a child (not!) after all.

His soul is already really old. He shouldn't get mad just because the other is his past life's enemy. This Hui Jianyu hasn't done anything past his bottom line so Shen Xi Meng can only throw away that ball of anger as if he never had it in the first place. Closing his eyes, Shen Xi Meng tried to meditate to reflect on his actions more.

Meanwhile, Hui Jianyu was currently listening to Shen Xi Meng's heartbeat. Noticing that unlike a moment ago, Shen Xi Meng's heartbeat now had calmed down and is beating at a normal pace. Does this mean that Shen Xi Meng isn't mad at his actions anymore?

Hui Jianyu looked up at the other's face. He can see how Shen Xi Meng was closing his eyes. Hui Jianyu could also see Shen Xi Meng's long and beautiful eyelashes. Hui Jianyu's gaze then shifted to Shen Xi Meng's lips. It looks so soft...So tasty too...

Hui Jianyu's lips curve up slightly. It won't be long. He'll just have to wait a few more years till Shen Xi Meng grew up. And a few years isn't that long to wait.
